Arizona to Alaska: Day 8 - Montana

30 mile bike ride from Apgar Campground to Avalanche Creek, then back along the road, before the traffic came.  Why don't national parks have designated bike lanes?  You see a lot more from a bike seat than a windshield, and it's easier to hop off your bike to take in the views versus trying to find a place to park.  Come on, put our entrance fees to use and add some bike paths..............

Left camp after lunch and hiked 2 miles up to Avalanche Lake, passing an amazing slot canyon.  At the lake, we saw a lone grizzly that seemed to be hunting a mountain goat, tracking it along the cliff bands across the valley.

Off to Canada tomorrow, for a couple nights in the Bugaboo Provincial Park.  Hoping to get a glimpse of the Cain hut.

Apparently the park dear are not afraid of humans

He did 98% of the 4 mile hike by himself, with very little whining
